Option Comparison – Alternatives Side by Side
Put several options side by side with your own fields — specs, prices, features, anything — with rating fields scored automatically and differences shaded so the contrasts jump out.
Option Comparison
Build your own comparison: each row is a field, each column an option. Text fields are shaded where the options differ; rating fields (1–5) get an automatic Best highlight and summary. The phone example is filled in — replace it with your own options.
Summary
When a comparison table beats a score
Not every decision should be reduced to one number. A comparison table keeps the details visible: each row is one field (price, battery, size, a feature), each column is one option, and you read across to see where they actually differ. Fields where the options differ are shaded, so your eye goes to the real contrasts.
Fields come in two kinds. Text fields hold anything — prices, dimensions, notes from a product page. Rating fields (1–5) are scored automatically: the best value in the row is highlighted and the summary names the leader, which is handy for the two or three fields you care about most.
Comparison versus the Decision Matrix
Use this page when you want to SEE the options. Use the Decision Matrix when you want a ranked verdict from weighted criteria. The two pair well: compare first to learn the facts, then score the finalists in the matrix.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between text and rating fields?
Text fields are for reading: prices, sizes, features — shown side by side with differences shaded. Rating fields (1–5) are scored: the highest value is highlighted as Best and named in the summary.
How many options and fields can I compare?
Up to four options and as many fields as you need. Each option also gets its own notes box for the details that do not fit a field.
Does the tool pick a winner?
No overall winner is declared — deliberately. It highlights the best rating in each row and summarises the leaders, because which field matters most is your call. For a single ranked verdict, use the Decision Matrix.
Is anything pre-scored or sponsored?
No. Every field, value and rating is yours. The tool starts with a small phone example so you can see how it works; replace it with your own options.
